The people ofHlllsboro will be glad of the opportunity to see Oscar and Adolph on Thursday, Nov. 0 at Bell's Opera House.' Oscar and Adolph" have endearedthemselves to the American peoplewith their foolish German antics andsurrounded as they are now by aclever and competent company anda Broadway chorus they have morethan made good. In fact, it Is doubtful If any show of all the big musicalcomedy successes has the "punch"this Weber-Fieldlan production possesses. The new production this season Is labeled "Oscar and Adolph asKings of the Movies." The music Iscatchy and brilliant and the chorusnumbers go with speed and a snapthat is refreshing. It is a fact thatover one hundred and fifty chorusgirls were tried out for this piece before the producer had a chorus thatcould execute the intricate dancesthat Director VonGottfried workedout for the production. The result isa perfect singing and dancing chorusthat sbeels through the show withspeed ana precision.With such clever and capable German comedians as Harris and Wintersplaying the title roles, there certainlywill be one laugh feast. advOscar and Adolph Coming.These Inimitable German dialectcomedians, Oscar and Adolph surrounded by a great dancing and singlng chorus in their newest review isthe next attraction at Bell's OperaHouse coming on Thursday, Nov. 5.The advent "of this internationallyfamous pair of mlrthmakers to themusical comedy stage marks the return of the Rogers Brothers style ofentertainment which met with suchspectacular success until the demiseof one of the famous brothers. Thisyear Oscar and Adolph appear as"Kings of the Movies." A new up-to-the-minutereview entitled, "FrolicsIn Filmland," affords the two adventurous Germans unusual opportunityfor comedy situations."Oscar and Adolph as Kings of theMovies" Is a real Broadway musicalreview fashioned after the successes ofthe Winter Garden and The Casino.A large dancing and singing chorussurround the two funny Dutchmenand up-to-the-minute specialities areintroduced all through the action ofthe review. The Eight Dancing Rosebuds are the feature of Oscar andAdolph's "Garden of Glorious Girls."advSome Tax Figures.Notices are being sent to many ofthe tax payers of Highland county bythe Democratic organization showinghow much loss taxes they are payingthis year than last. These notices ofcourse are being sent only to peoplewhose taxes have been lowered. Insome of the townships the rate hasbeen materially decreased, in someslightly Increased. The Democratsgive all the credit for the reduction tothe Warnes Tax Law and Gov. Cox.This is not true. The increase In thevaluation of the personal property Inthe different taxing districts of Highland county Is not of itself greatenough to make any material decreasein the tax rate. For instance the taxrate has been lowered in Libertytownship 4.40 mills. The increase invaluation was $50,825. The decreaseIn tax rate will mean that $10,803.23less will be raised In the township under the present rate than under iheold rate. The Increase in valuationwill raise $317 22. Which means thatLiberty township will have for all taxpurposes $10,480 01 less money thanlast year.The writer Is a firm believer in theWarnes Tax Law and believes that Ifgiven a fair trial It will prove a bigimprovement over the old system, buthe believes that credit should be givenwhere credit Is due and the increasedvaluation of personal property cannotIn this county make any material decrease In the tax rate. It will helpand every little bit helps and It Is always a pleasure to see a man who hasnot been paying his just share of taxeshave to come across.Real Estate Transfers.Lang Young to OIHe Young, Hillsboro, lot. $1.B.

"A fellow's always afraid of agirl when he's really nicked.""No such thing." said Bob. "I'venever been one of the diffident, selfeffacing kind that thinks he's a wormIn the dust whenever he compareshimself with a girl he happens tolike.""No, I'll say that for him," admittedSam. "Excessive modesty has neverbeen one of his afflictions.""When you get through roasting,"said Bob, pleasantly, "I'll go aheadand tell you some more about myvisit.""Yes, let's hear about the Farringtens," said Jessie"Well, what I meant by being afraidof them was that I never felt quite asthough I could go to their house without making a kind of set piece of itgloves and stick and visiting cardsand 'la Miss Farrlngton In?' with mypolitest accent. It wasn't that theywere stiff or ceremonious or anythingof that sort. If they had been thekind of people that sentenco you toone chair when you come to call Ishould never have gone near theirhouse They were always cordial andInformal enough, but somehow eventheir Informality always had such apolite little finish to It that I usedto feel as though I never could bequite so nice as they were, no matterhow hard I tried. Mrs. Farrlngtonwould come In and put me at my easewith just the correct little socialformula and Nell and I exchangedamenities according to the preceptsshe had learned at Miss Winter'sfinishing school. Mr. Farrlngton wasfriendly in a dignified way that seemedto call upon me to address him as'sir.' He would offer me cigars thatI never felt quite free to smoke untilBert took me down to the billiardroom, though Nell and her mother always Insisted that they liked cigarsmoke. Somehow I used to feel thatthey would all be corking people toknow when I really got to know themwell enough not to be so polite, butBert was the only one with whom Iwas on real comfortable scrappingterms"When they invited me to go up totheir cottage last week of course theytold me tho usual story about theirinformal, primitive way of livingback to nature and all that sort ofthing but I've been bluffed like thatbefore and wasn't prepared for thepleasant reality.""Was It a reality?" asked Jessie."I went up with Bert Saturdaynight," narrated Bob. "When we gotto the place Sunday morning the firstperson I saw wob Mr. Farrlngton. Hewas on the dock in a bathing suit Industriously trying to untangle a fishline. 'Hello, boys.' ho said. 'Hello,Heaton! Give me a hand with thisblankety, blank line, will you? Say,have either of you fellows got anymakings? The only thing I don't likeabout life in Lonsomehurst Is thatit's so confounded bard to get a smokewhen you want one.'"Then he took me Into tho boathouso and showed me confidentiallyeight black bass that he had boughtfrom a boy that morning and that hewas going to catch after breakfast.By that time Nell came to the door ofthe cottage."'Hello, kids!' she called out. 'I'mso glad you're hre! Breakfast Isleady, and I'm starved.'"Collars and stiff clothes were rigidly barred, and It didn't take me longto get Into a sweater, where I stayed."After breakfast Mrs. Farrlngtonasked me in a matter-of-fact way toturn the ice cream freezer, and asNell helped I didn't mind. Once,when we were tasting the cream, wobumped our heads together and afterthat we felt a lot better acquainted."Then we went In swimming anddried in the sun on the dock, and Nelland I stumped each other to hop overthe cracks on one foot. After thatshe showed me how she could ride onthe flying Dutchman, a contrivancethat some children hod rigged in thebaok yard. It la a long board thatspins around on a pivot, and you haveto straddle It, jockey fashion, to stiokon. When I asked Nell whether shehad learned that accomplishment atMiss Winter's, the suggestion overcame her and she rolled off.""I suppose when she gets back totown you'll go around there to callwith gloves and stick and visitingcards?" asked Sam.Bob grinned. "Not on your life,"said he. "After this I go around totha baok fence and whistle."All Right, butA Scotch servant shortly after hermarriage met her former mistress andon being asked bow she was gettingon she replied: "I'm getting on fine,mem; but ah, I canna bldo the man."Boston Evening TransoriptIron-CladOn Saturday, October 31,We are going to offer a lotof best 50c quality SweaterCoats for men and boys atSPECIAL 39c.Remember this price is forone day only, Saturday, October 31.THE IRON CLADAbout Storm Buggies.Did you ever ride in a rattling stormbuggy ?
